Hey @GeorgeS2019 - this looks awesome! Is this a GDExtension built in parallel to what I started? Or did it use this repo as a starting point? Do you have a repo or PR?

[GeorgeS2019]

@stuarta0

No, I assume the youtube is from you?

I forgot the author. He once shared that it will be c++ GDExtension

I hope he soon will share the repos

[stuarta0]

Nope, not me I'm afraid. UI looks Chinese and they're very light on details from the YouTube channel so it's hard to find any further information. Their first upload certainly looks like the starting point I made in this repo, but maybe it's just a case of simultaneous invention.

[GeorgeS2019]

@stuarta0 I once was contacted (~> 4 weeks) on one of my Godot Cesium posts which I can not track now.

He is working on it using c++ GDExtension.

we need to wait.

I have not check your repos.

Perhaps you could share where are you so others could contribute know what to do.

[GeorgeS2019]

This looks great too :-)

I only got as far as bootstrapping the extension so the Cesium native library could be compiled alongside the GDExtension using cmake, with a couple of example nodes (Cesium3DTileset). This would've been a great starting point for someone to jump in as it's all the necessary building blocks to hit the ground running.

Since then I'd started digging through cesium native to see what was provided, and cross referencing with the cesium unreal repo to see how it's used. I just haven't had the time to continue trawling code and incrementing the implementation. But it looks like this other person has made great progress!

@stuarta0

Keep it up. Let see if I could persuade him to work together. Let us be positive :-) Good Job!!

@stuarta0

@luxun0517 is making huge progress in both new Godot and cesium native commits

[stuarta0]

@GeorgeS2019 I think they're 99% catch up merges with upstream Godot. The couple of relevant Cesium commits are fairly bare bones. Also, I really hope they aren't developing directly against the Godot codebase - it should be against the godot-cpp or other GDExtension API libraries.

[GeorgeS2019]

@stuarta0 I understand that it is GDExtension. Thx for feedback.

@stuarta0 Thanks for Your Repo, that is why i use godot

[GeorgeS2019]

@stuarta0 because of your pioneering work on Godot for Cesium, @luxun0517 is able to make progress with all these impressive youtubes
